Ann Crewdson, chair of the Intellectual Freedom Interest Group for the Washington Library Association, reads a passage from “Paint Me Like I Am” in honor of the 50 State Salute to Banned Books Week:

We hope these videos will inspire you to create one of your own to be featured in the Banned Books Virtual Read-Out! We also have extended the deadline to submit videos for the 50 State Salute to Friday, October 5. We encourage you to continue to send videos for the 50 State Salute via this online form.
